The cold winter is really not a good time for golf lovers. Neither the golf course nor the golf course is as natural as in other seasons. But love knows no time, and you should also enjoy happy golf in winter!
In this blog, Gagalileo sports - a leading supplier of golf hitting cage - will dive into the secret behind winter golf. Let's dive into the heart of it all.
Outdoor golf
While most people enjoy outdoor golf, the cold weather during winter can make our bones more vulnerable. Therefore, when playing golf in winter, there are some important precautions to be aware of to prevent injuries and stay warm:
一. Injury Prevention:
1. Warm-up Exercises.
Due to the cold air, the body tends to become somewhat stiff. It's advisable to spend around 20 minutes engaging in preparatory activities before playing. Increase the range of motion deliberately, allowing the body to warm up adequately and all parts to move freely, thus avoiding injuries during the activity.
2.Swinging Techniques.
The grass on winter courses tends to be sparse, and the ground becomes quite rigid. When swinging, be cautious not to exert excessive force, as improper ball striking may cause harm to the arms.
Playing golf in winter demands more careful attention and preparation. Through proper warm-up and paying attention to swinging techniques, the risk of injuries during cold weather can be effectively reduced.
二. Pay attention to protecting the skin:
In winter, the temperature is low, dry and windy, and the skin surface loses more moisture.
The skin should be clean before playing ball, so that the clean pores can absorb moisturizing products more effectively, and at the same time, the sweat glands can be secreted normally during exercise.
You will definitely sweat when playing ball, but do not wash your face with water casually, or use a wet towel to wipe sweat back and forth. The best solution is to take a shower after exercise, clean the skin thoroughly, and then use moisturizing and skin care products to replenish the lost water.
Replenish water: Replenish water in time during playing. Playing in winter requires the same amount of water as in summer. You can drink ordinary water or sports drinks.
三. Club maintenance:
Winter is the season when clubs are most likely to be damaged. It is not uncommon for club heads to break and "fly out". Therefore, special attention should be paid to the maintenance of the clubs
Before each golf ball, the club head should be rubbed with a warm towel to preheat it to increase the temperature of the club itself and soften it, which can reduce sudden breakage at low temperatures.
Steel clubs cannot be wiped with a hot towel, otherwise the shaft will rust, but the joint part of the club head must also be preheated before playing. Clean up after playing to prevent dirt from getting caught between the seams and club face of the club.
Do not put the clubs in the trunk. If they are not in use, take the clubs out and put them in the room. Do not let the clubs stay in the trunk overnight. This will prevent loss and theft.
四. Change your batting strategy:
Due to various constraints, it is difficult to play at the same level as usual. You don’t need to pursue your playing results too much, but treat it as a kind of fun.
Since clothes may affect the turning and swing range, the hitting distance may be reduced accordingly, so it is best to choose a club size one size smaller than usual.
It is difficult to stop the ball on the green in winter, so you must be careful when attacking the green, and you can adopt some conservative strategies.
五. Pay attention to keeping warm.
When playing 18 holes in freezing weather, keeping warm is essential:
Choose a jacket that is warm, windproof and waterproof. Generally, the stadium is relatively empty, so you need a windproof and cold jacket to keep warm.
Pay attention to adding or removing clothes while playing. You can take off thick clothes when hitting the ball, but it is best to put them on immediately after hitting the ball.
Choose a warm velvet hat.
Prepare a warm and close-fitting bottoming shirt, and pay attention to whether the bottoming shirt has quick-drying and sweat-conducting functions. The skin is soaked in sweat and the cold wind blows, which can easily cause a cold.
A pair of warm gloves or a hand warmer bag is necessary. You can use it to warm your hands between shots to prevent your fingers from going numb.
Wear a short scarf or neck scarf that does not affect exercise to protect your neck and cervical spine.
六: Pay attention to nutritional balanc
Golf is good for the body and cannot be separated from a reasonable diet. The following foods are recommended: unsaturated fats and proteins that are easily absorbed by the body, such as olive oil, lean beef, pork, chicken, fish, turkey, nuts, and eggs, which help to produce energy, replenish and repair cells.
Vitamin-containing vegetables and fruits and carbohydrates that provide sufficient energy, such as carrots, pumpkins, apples, bananas, staple foods, etc. At the same time, replenishing water is also a necessary part. When exercising for more than an hour, you need to drink an appropriate amount of sports drinks or light salt water to absorb the sodium and potassium content in the drinks to help the body return to a balanced state.
People with diabetes are advised not to play golf alone. When playing golf, they should have commonly used foods that are easy to absorb around them to prevent hypoglycemic reactions.
Practitioners who are used to playing in the morning must not skip breakfast and play on an empty stomach. Nutritionally balanced, eat small meals frequently, eat regularly and consistently.
